After arranging for Eriri to continue the novel with a plot based on Kasumigaoka’s experiences, Li Yue discovered that his world was a crossover of youth anime series and brought the Teyvat gods through a Portal to explore it. The four gods set out to enjoy the ordinary world, with Nahida planning to visit the girl who had promised to watch cartoons with her.

• Touma Kazusa accepted the plan to let the novel continue while its future plot diverged from her real life, and Eriri and Machida Sonoko apologized to her.
• Li Yue explained that the novel was based on his experiences, and Eriri agreed to type the subsequent plot while Kasumigaoka recounted it.

• Nahida agreed to visit the little girl who had promised to watch cartoons with her, and Venti led the four gods toward the world’s food, tea, and other inventions.

Venti, Zhongli, Ei, and Nahida discovered they had no money in Japan, so Li Yue lent them yen before heading to Sobu High School to investigate My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU. There, Li Yue’s prank exposed Yukino Yukinoshita to a horrifying shadow that could eat spirits, and the chapter ended as she encountered a teacher with the shadow following her.

• Venti and the other gods realized they had no yen, returned to Li Yue, and borrowed tens of thousands before taking the bus.

• Yukino followed Shizuka Hiratsuka back to class, relieved that no one else could see the shadow trailing her.

• Yukino said she did not want the ability to see souls.

• Aizen told Yukino that Bleach maintained the balance of souls, fought Hollows, and protected people who could see ghosts like her.
• Aizen gave Yukino a transformation device that could awaken her power early, explaining that it would let her fight Hollows and alert him to her soul fluctuations.

• Yukino found Haruno waiting outside her apartment and realized a Hollow was standing beside her sister, unseen by Haruno.
• Yukino touched the transformation device but delayed using it because the Hollow seemed small and there was no immediate danger.

• The next morning, Yukino met Yui at Sobu High School and spotted a huge evil spirit silently scanning the students entering the school.

Yukino transformed into Magical Girl Yukino to protect a child’s soul from a rational Hollow, revealing her secret to Yui and Hachiman. The child turned out to be the Hollow’s accomplice and restrained Yukino, leaving her trapped as the Hollow explained its bait-and-hook plan.

• Yukino noticed the tall evil spirit enter Sobu High School and saw it chase a little girl’s soul through the hallway.
• When the Hollow grabbed the girl, Yukino transformed in front of Yui Yuigahama and Hachiman Hikigaya and wounded it with an ice spike.

• The Hollow explained that it had entered the school seeking a particular soul and tracked prey by sensing fear.

• The Hollow revealed that the little girl was a fragment of its soul created to lure humans, but Yukino escaped her grasp and attacked it with ice spikes.

After Yui and Yukino decided they should use their powers to protect people from Hollows, Aizen brought them to an abandoned construction site for systematic training, where Yukino prepared to transform first.

• Aizen explained that a special Hollow had awakened Hachiman Hikigaya and Yui Yuigahama’s ability to see ghosts, and offered them transformation devices so they could defend themselves.
• Hachiman reluctantly joined the Magical Girl Squad, while Yui eagerly joined to become a magical girl like Yukino Yukinoshita; Yukino became captain.
• Yui argued that the squad should fight Hollows and protect ordinary people, and Yukino agreed, but Hachiman warned that they were too weak.
• Aizen returned and said magical girls could become as powerful as Bleach through systematic training.
• After school, Aizen led the three to an abandoned construction site and asked who would transform first; Yukino volunteered.

Aizen guided Yukino, Hachiman, and Yui through magical transformations and began training them to use their awakened elemental powers. Shizuka Hiratsuka tried to follow the three after Haruno asked her to watch Yukino, but they slipped away to an abandoned building.

• Yukino transformed successfully, and Hachiman reluctantly followed the same activation instructions.
• Hachiman transformed into a magical girl in an orange skirt and crop top, while Aizen explained that all the transformation outfits were standardized.

• Aizen explained that Yukino had awakened Cryo, Hachiman Geo, and Yui Anemo, then began training them and asked Yukino about the properties of ice.

Aizen trained Yukino Yukinoshita, Yui Yuigahama, and Hachiman Hikigaya to develop their elemental powers and survive combat against Hollows. Shizuka Hiratsuka mistook their exhausted departures from the construction site for evidence of a secret relationship, then followed them the next day and overheard their magical-girl transformation routine.

• Aizen advised Yukino to explore ice’s properties, Hachiman to use Geo’s weight and hardness, and Yui to develop wind attacks such as tornadoes.
• The three practiced their elemental fighting styles, then endured ten minutes of combat training as Aizen chased them with a lightning sword and shocked them with electric currents.
• Shizuka Hiratsuka saw the exhausted students leaving the construction site and wrongly concluded they had been holding an impromptu party.
• Unable to sleep because of her suspicions, Shizuka returned to school the next day and followed the three students to the construction site.
• Li Yue explained that the three could transform together, but they transformed one at a time, with Yukino going first, Yui second, and Hachiman last.

Li Yue taught the Service Club trio how to develop powerful Elemental Bursts and recruited Shizuka Hiratsuka as a fourth magical girl. After two days of training, Hachiman Hikigaya headed to school alert for Hollows, believing he was ready to fight one.

• Li Yue explained that the trio needed to unleash all their stored power in an ultimate attack to confront evolved evil spirits.

Hachiman Hikigaya confronted a flying octopus Hollow while trying to protect a girl who could not see it, and Yui Yuigahama joined the fight. The girl mistook their transformations for suspicious behavior and kept interfering, leaving Hachiman trying to force her away from danger.

• Hachiman spotted a giant octopus Hollow blocking the road and tried to avoid it, but it grabbed a passing girl's bicycle and knocked her down.

Hachiman Hikigaya, Yui Yuigahama, and Yukino Yukinoshita faced a giant octopus evil spirit near Sobu High School while an ordinary student mistakenly watched them, believing she was dreaming. The octopus proved difficult to injure and began attacking from the air as Yui prepared her strongest move.

• Hachiman Hikigaya and Yui Yuigahama pulled the girl away from the octopus, but she later found her bicycle and encountered them again while they chased the spirit.
• The girl ran to Sobu High School for help, where Yukino Yukinoshita transformed into Magical Girl Yukino and joined Hachiman and Yui.
• The girl decided she was dreaming and watched as the three magical girls prepared to fight the octopus.
• Hachiman, Yui, and Yukino tested their attacks and discovered that the octopus's flexible body deflected blows, though Yui's wind blades made it retreat into a defensive posture.

Yukino, Hachiman, Yuihama, and Shizuka Hiratsuka defeated an evolved octopus evil spirit, though Li Yue revealed the magical-girl battle had been an illusion visible only to the participants. Back in Tokyo, Li Yue asked Kasumigaoka to bail out four Teyvat gods arrested over unpaid bills and a bar fight, and the chapter ended with Venti explaining himself to Li Yue after their release.

• Yukino pinned the octopus's tentacles with ice spikes, and Yuihama pierced its head with an Anemo attack, but the wounded creature survived and shattered Hachiman's shield.
